August 2011: Church House Conference Centre bottles up on site

As part of their ongoing focus on sustainability, Church House Conference Centre is offering clients its own purified, freshly bottled water.

The water, which is triple filtered and bottled on-site, is available in both still and carbonated form. Once emptied the glass bottles are washed, refilled and reused, keeping dozens of water bottles out of landfill sites each month.

Church House general manager, Robin Parker comments: “The use of our filtration system cuts out wasteful packaging and shipping, requires no storage space or expensive recycling, and involves no inconvenient deliveries. Our single built-in supply gives one simple source and removes the need to pay various suppliers. This makes it significantly cheaper for the clients as external costs are not passed on.”

Robin continues: “In addition to the conferences we are well known for, we regularly host a variety of dinners and receptions, for which we have devised a range of creative and unusually themed menus. Working with our catering partners, Kudos we continually strive to ensure everything we provide is both healthy and wherever possible locally sourced – the introduction of our own filtered water was another step in this journey.”
